THE RATE OF NATURALIZATION AMONG IMMIGRANT STOCKS 159
dominantly rural and their behaviour in respect of naturalization is more similar to that
of the Slavic people than to that of the Italian and Greeks. They naturalize comparatively
rapidly.
Other things being equal, immigrants who settle in rural parts naturalize more rapidly
than those going to cities. That is only to be expected from the homestead laws and the
tendency for settlers on the land to be more permanent than those following most other
occupations.
The chart also presents the curve for the immigrants from the United States. The
United States immigrants naturalize ‘as rapidly as the Scandinavians. Indeed, those coming
in recent years have naturalized more rapidly. That is due probably to the large percent
age of British stock and repatriated French Canadians included in the United States immi-~
gration, to which reference has been made in an earlier section. A detailed analysis of this
chart is left to the reader.
It is interesting to note, in conclusion, that the data presented in Table 95 substantiate
the thesis postulated earlier in this chapter, that immigrants who settle in rural parts
aaturalize more rapidly than those who congregate 1n cities.
